BACKGROUND:Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is primarily a respiratory illness. However, with rising numbers of cases, multiple reports cardiovascular manifestations have emerged. We present case COVID-19 infection complicated by myopericarditis and tamponade requiring drainage. CASE REPORT:An 82-year-old woman comorbidities presented five days productive cough, fever chills, intermittent diarrhea. She tested positive for COVID-19. Index EKG revealed new diffuse T-wave inversions...
Background: The 12-lead ECG is considered the gold standard to differentiate between selective (S), nonselective (NS) His bundle pacing (HBP), and right ventricular septal capture in routine clinical practice. We sought assess utility of device EGM recordings as a tool identify type HBP morphology. Methods: One hundred forty-eight consecutive patients underwent with 3830 Select Secure lead (Medtronic, Inc) at 3 centers October 2016 2017. near field V-EGM morphology (NF EGM), time peak Time...
AimsGiven design similarities and a common manufacturer, there have been suspicions regarding the Durata™ defibrillator (ICD) lead, in aftermath of Riata™ class I recall. We therefore examined failure-free survival rates compared with Sprint Quattro™ ICD leads.
To determine the best screening tests for discriminating early indicators of cardiac hypoplasia in congenital heart disease (CHD) from normal variations fetal growth.We retrospectively examined echocardiograms 90 infants with confirmed CHD: Group 1 (n = 35) right-sided obstructive lesions and 2 55) left-sided lesions. Our control group comprised 2735 fetuses, which we determined Z-scores right ventricle (RV), left (LV), aorta (Ao) pulmonary artery (PA) diameters ratios to (RV:LV) (PA:Ao)...
Background: The inclusion of people living with spinal cord injury (SCI) in research has allowed for an informed understanding priorities recovery which bowel dysfunction and bladder have been continuously identified. Research also demonstrated the global disparities SCI outcomes particularly when comparing high- low-income countries. Currently, there is a lack direct comparison between countries assessing outcomes. Objectives: This exploratory study to better understand amongst individuals...
ABSTRACT Objective Fetuses with single ventricle physiology (SVP) exhibit reductions in fetal cerebral oxygenation, associated delays brain growth and neurodevelopmental outcomes. Maternal supplemental oxygen (MSO) has been proposed to improve growth, but current evidence on dosing, candidacy outcomes is limited. In this pilot study, we evaluated the safety feasibility of continuous low‐dose MSO setting SVP. Methods This single‐center, open‐label, phase‐1 clinical trial included 25 pregnant...
Outcome data on ventricular tachycardia (VT) ablation has been limited to few experienced centres. We sought identify complication rates, predictors, and create a risk score model for predicting complications in patients from real-world data. A total of 25 451 undergoing VT year 2006 2013 were identified the National Inpatient Sample (NIS) database. The whole cohort was randomly divided into derivation derive validation validate model. Multivariate predictors any using regression Each...
Aim:Recently, digoxin use has been found to associate with higher mortality. Yet, potential mechanisms by which increases mortality remain unclear. Increased arrhythmogenicity from is one possibility. Thus, we aimed evaluate the relation between and shock events in patients implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs). Methods:We performed a retrospective chart review of all ICDs at least 1 device interrogation our institution January 1, 2012, 2015. We cover year period. Patients heart...
Ibrutinib is a Bruton's tyrosine kinase (BTK) inhibitor approved for second-line treatment mantle cell lymphoma (MCL), chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), and Waldenström macroglobulinemia. use has been linked to increased incidence of atrial fibrillation hypertension in multiple studies. Other forms cardiac toxicities have also reported isolated case reports. Bradycardia asystole not associated with ibrutinib the past. We present 76-year-old female no prior history, who initiated relapsing...
[b]BACKGROUND[/b] Acute bacterial pericarditis is rare, and the incidence numbers have been declining in modern antibiotic era. Purulent a fatal disease which mortality rates can reach 100% if left untreated. [b]CASE REPORT[/b] We present case of primary purulent with polymicrobial growth including Micromonas micro, Prevotella intermedia Fusobacterium species, all are anaerobic flora oral cavity. Constant re-accumulation pericardial effusion led patient to recurrent echocardiographic...
ECG CHALLENGEA 37-year-old woman with non-Hodgkin lymphoma undergoing chemotherapy and no other significant medical history was incidentally noted to have an irregular heart rhythm on physical examination, a 12-lead obtained.ECG (Figure 1) showed sinus alternating pattern of right bundle-branch block (RBBB) left (LBBB).What is the mechanism ECG? 1. Alternating RBBB LBBB premature ventricular contractions 2. phase 3 in bundle branches 3. 4 4. Interpolated bundlebranch morphologiesPlease turn...
Suspect Identification is one of the most pivotal aspects a forensic and criminal investigation. A significant amount time skill devoted to creating sketches for it requires fair recollections from witness provide useful sketch. We devise method that aims automate process suspect identification model this problem by iteratively retrieving images feedback provided user. Compared standard image retrieval tasks, interactive facial specifically more challenging due high subjectivity involved in...
Abstract Background and objectives The use of nonfluoroscopic three‐dimensional electroanatomic mapping (3DM) systems reduces radiation exposure during ablation procedures. In this study, we sought to determine the value 3DM routine device implant Methods Seventy nonselected patients underwent implantation a single chamber, dual or biventricular guided by Ensite (Abbott Laboratories) limit fluoroscopy compared with 70 consecutive patients, who matching procedures standard (FL) in period...
A 45-year-old Caucasian man presented to the hospital with a 3-month history of fatigue, bilateral upper and lower limb paresthesias gradually worsening ascending paralysis. few weeks later, he developed acute renal failure requiring haemodialysis. Investigations revealed presence myeloperoxidase (MPO) perinuclear antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies (ANCA). Renal biopsy was conclusive for rapidly progressive glomerulonephritis crescents. Treatment ANCA positive vasculitis initiated pulsed...
We report a case of 63-year-old woman who developed profound QT prolongation, T-wave alternans, and spontaneous ventricular fibrillation during catheter ablation atrial fibrillation.A thorough search into the possible mechanisms identified use sevoflurane, an inhalational gas anesthetic as culprit.The patient was converted to propofol anesthesia her interval normalized promptly.
